Forms For Regrets

A regret should be worded somewhat in this manner:

Miss Mamie Stevens.

Dear Mamie:

St. Louis, Oct. 20th, '83.

I rec'd your note with its kind invitation a few moments since. I am so sorry that a prior engagement compels me to decline. You don't know how much I regret my inability to accept. With kindest regards to your mother, believe me, dear Mamie, Ever Yours, Beaumont Flats.

Mr. John Buckmaster.
